Professor John Edwards, epidemiologist on Radio4Today talking about #Covid waves. Says, vaccines would still work (without adaptation to new variants presumably) says problem going forward is immunosuppressed patients. Why does Gov need to test #Evusheld when this is the answer?
It is time the @BBCFergusWalsh@BBCHughPym investigated why the a government refuse to procure @evusheld4theuk when the only people unable to live with #Covid are the clinically extremely vulnerable who don’t respond or can’t have the standard Covid vaccination.
The standard vaccines aren’t withdrawn, tested and adapted each time a new variant appears AND YET, the excuse for not rolling out #Evusheld is that it was approved before Omicron and more data is required. The real reason appears to be the Gov won’t pay for it.
Clinically extremely vulnerable people and their families need to be able to live with #Covid and the only way at present is #Evusheld which is used world wide to protect the vulnerable. The #BBC@SkyNews@GBNEWS@itvnews need to ask , “Why?”
Likes are lovely but RT more productive. We need to get this information out there. Most of the country have never heard of #Evusheld. If you think we’ll I’m OK it doesn’t affect me. I’ve had my jabs. THINK! Waiting Lists! If #ICU is full of #CEV where will you go?

#FreedomDay would people who now feel they have freedom and #Covid is just a cold, who’ve been on holiday, the pub, concerts, etc., join our #Campaign to getevusheld.uk. @evusheld4theuk is a group of immunosuppressed ppl who don’t respond to Covid vaccine. Because …..
They don’t respond to #pfizer, #AstraZeneca#Moderna or they can’t have the same vaccine as you because drugs they are taking for @bloodcancer_uk@kidneycareuk@ArthritisSoc and many other diseases you haven’t heard of but YOU might get. Nobody expects a life limiting diagnosis
There is a drug they could have which would act like t(e vaccine acts on you. It’s called #Evusheld and made by Astra Zeneca. The Gov rolled out the vaccines in the emergency of Covid and you can have them without any further testing, no matter which #variants come along…
Which one of you is going to expose @sajidjavid for not procuring #Evusheld for immunosuppressed blood cancer, transplant patients and others who are under house arrest?
#Evusheld was approved by MHRA in March 22. Despite the emergence of Omicron the government continued to give Booster Vaccinations. They didn’t donfurther testing to confirm efficacy against new variants. They never have. BUT ….
Clinically extremely vulnerable patients who are immune compromised don’t mount a good response to these freely available vaccines, pushed on the public constantly, some can’t even have them because of contra indications to their life saving drugs.
@ShaunLintern will you please investigate the lies told by Government to clinically extremely vulnerable people who don’t respond to #Covid vaccines. They need #Evusheld. Those affected have formed a group. All evidence here. getevusheld.uk supported by @bloodcancer_uk
Whole families are shielding or living apart because the immunosuppressed member didn’t mount antibodies to standard vaccines or they can’t have it due to treatment. This drug #Evusheld is now being used worldwide there is no reason it can’t be used here.
Hundreds of us have written to MPs throughout the country, they all send similar replies. getevusheld.uk now has evidence from AZ that what they say is untrue. The MHRA approved #Evusheld in March 2022. Like 30 other countries the UK should use it.
